Chiropractic and Acupuncture
Dr. Cierra McClure offer acupuncture services including dry needle, electro-acupuncture, aqua-acupuncture, hemo-acupunture, and Chinese herbal prescriptions. These services can be performed at the hospital or on ambulatory visits. Acupuncture is very effective for pain relief, to reduce inflammation, improve blood supply, release painful muscles or spasms, and much more. Dr. McClure also offers Chiropractic adjustments in conjunction with acupuncture, after lameness evaluation, or as an independent service.
Acupuncture is an excellent tool and is used as an additional therapy for many of the conditions we commonly encounter with our equine companions. As part of an acupuncture session, we will perform a diagnostic scan of your horse’s body to determine sore muscle groups and where that particular horse’s problem areas seem to be. If there are sensitivities within certain groups of acupuncture points, they can indicate abnormalities of a specific anatomic location or organ group. The frequency and number of acupuncture sessions will depend on each horse and their ailments. Dr. McClure is happy to answer any questions you may have prior to scheduling an appointment. Dr. McClure also performs Equine Chiropractic Manipulation.
